Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I really loved all the books in this series

What does Tavia Gilbert bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

This series is the first one I have listened to with Tavia Gilbert and her performance is unbelievably good. Her voice puts me so far into the story that my heart races with the fight scenes and my eyes fill with tears during the sad and happy scenes. Between the writing and the performance it may be the best series I have listed to.

Still love Abby, narrator not so much..

Revisado: 03-25-14

What made the experience of listening to Deadly Forecast the most enjoyable?

I really love series, its nice to get to know your characters and see the story evolve from book to book.

What didn’t you like about Elizabeth Michaels’s performance?

She does not do a good job as Abby and her voice inflection for the other characters leaves a lot to be desired. Every time Brice Harrison had a line i cringed because she made him sound like a weasel, not the Assistant Special Agent in Charge. I feel bad saying it but she is not the best choice for this series, a different book maybe, but if i didn't have my kindle book to help me break from the performance I may have given up on this series 10 books ago.

Any additional comments?

The series is a good one just get past the narration and you can love Abby, Candace, Dutch, Brice, Milo and the rest of the "crew"

Please get a new narrator

Revisado: 03-25-14

Would you consider the audio edition of Doom with a View to be better than the print version?

I would have to recommend the print version, the performance really makes it difficult to listen to. Abby sounds much older than she should. Eileen Stevens, Amanda Ronconi, Amy Rubinate, anyone please give Abby new life.

How could the performance have been better?

I really wish a different narrator could be found continuing the series in audio is difficult. I am sure Ms. Michaels could be fine in another book, but she is really not at all right for this one.

Good story..

What made the experience of listening to Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye the most enjoyable?

I really like the character

What didn’t you like about Elizabeth Michaels’s performance?

I just don't feel like she sounds like Abby Cooper, no disrespect but I was under the impression that Abby Cooper is in her early 30's and Elizabeth Michaels doesn't sound like a woman in her early 30's from Michigan. She does mispronunce words and places like street names in most books in this series.

Any additional comments?

Love the story, but the narrator just isn't right for the character. I am sure she could do other characters in other books better, she just isn't Abby.

Always a nice read

Would you consider the audio edition of Daddy's Gone A Hunting to be better than the print version?

As a busy mom being able to have the audio version of this book was great. I was able to listen on my commute to work, while doing housework and when getting ready to go to bed. Print versions are good, but being "read to" while doing mundane chores is way better!

What other book might you compare Daddy's Gone A Hunting to and why?

It is similar to Mary Higgins Clark's other books, but I own all of them, so I guess she is doing something right.

Which scene was your favorite?

Kate's experiences and flashes of memory while in a coma was interesting.

Gotta love Jim!

Revisado: 05-29-13

What made the experience of listening to Dad Is Fat the most enjoyable?

Listening to Jim tell his stories is just priceless

What did you like best about this story?

I really enjoyed hearing from a dad's perspective. I have read many books from mom's but hearing a dad talk about his experience was entertaining and eye opening. I bet my husband could relate to a lot of Jim's stories, minus 3 children.

Have you listened to any of Jim Gaffigan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened to and seen Jim Gaffigan in concert, this was right in line with his great comedic perfomances.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed out loud many times.

Any additional comments?

If you are a parent or may become a parent someday buy this book!

Thanks Steve

Revisado: 04-09-13

Would you consider the audio edition of Straight Talk, No Chaser to be better than the print version?

I really enjoyed the audio version of this book. Steve made his points and had some really good ones. Having Steve's voice made a bigger impact then I think I would have had if I had read the print version of this book.

What does Steve Harvey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The inflections made this a great listen. You really know how Steve wants you to take what he wrote.

Love Molly!

Revisado: 03-05-13

Would you consider the audio edition of Getting the Pretty Back to be better than the print version?

I did like having Molly Ringwald narrate the story. It was great to hear it exactly as she meant it to be heard.

What did you like best about this story?

Many of the stories were very relatable to my life.

What does Molly Ringwald bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her tone and inflection truly meant that you heard the story from her perspective.

New view of an old book

Revisado: 03-05-13

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I read this book many years ago and this version was different than the Anne Frank of my youth. I thought the story was very moving and listening to Anne's story as an adult and mother made me see it a bit differently. Even though we know the end to the story, listening to Anne just talk about being a teenager was very relatable. I remember feeling some of the same things that Anne describes and that in turn made me think about my own teenage daughter and some of the things she may be thinking and feeling. The times have changed, but so much of it is still relevent.

What about Selma Blair’s performance did you like?

She had great inflection and in my mind was Anne

Love the Odd Thomas series

Revisado: 09-19-12

Where does Odd Apocalypse rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

this is one of my favorite series and the narrator is fabulous

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

this kept in line with the other books in the series

What about David Aaron Baker’s performance did you like?

he brings Odd Thomas to life, the voice and inflections make the story so much more enjoyable to listen to.
